In Detail

It seems that every year since the Enron collapse there has been a fresh debacle that refuses to lower the spotlight from corporate Governance, Risk, and Compliance management.

Before Sarbanes Oxely forced company managers to become risk conscious, if you asked a chief executive whether he thought he had adequate internal controls, the most likely answer would have been "What is an internal control?"

The book is divided into three major sections:

Governance – where we discuss the strategic management of the enterprise, setting plans for managers, making disclosures to investors, and ensuring that the board knows that the enterprise is meeting its goals and staying within its policies.
Risk Management – where we discuss audit disciplines. This is where we work out what can go wrong, document what we have to do to prevent it from going wrong and check that what we think prevents it going wrong - actually works! We move through the various sub-disciplines within the audit profession and show what tools are best suited from within the Oracle family to assist.
Compliance Management – where we map the tools and facilities that we have discovered in the first two sections to frameworks and legislations. We give this from an industry and geography agnostic viewpoint, and then drill into some specific industries and countries.

Nice High Level View

By Stephen Phillips on October 28, 2012

Format: Paperback

Just recently, I had the opportunity to review this book: Governance, Risk, and Compliance Handbook for Oracle Applications.

The book was very interesting and covered a broad range of information regarding governance, risk, and compliance. It was very good at giving a high level picture that could span across a broad organization.

Multiple applications were mentioned. Hyperion, Oracle Applications, and of course Oracle GRC were mentioned with screenshots. The book didn't dive into specific step by step detail, but it did give some screenshots and just enough detail to accomplish the best practices.

All in all, I felt that this was a good book to paint the big picture and help implement best practices in the area of GRC.
